(718) 623-3999 Tracked from Fulton As tricks up the sleeve go, this was a nasty one. www.sixthaveanimalclinic.com Two thugs — one with gun concealed in his jacket sleeve — robbed a man of his diamond earrings on State Street in broad daylight on Feb. 11, police said. The 24-year-old victim said one of the thieves followed him around Fulton Mall, then over to State Street, between Nevins and Bond streets. Around 12:45 pm, the stranger approached and asked him to hail a cab for him. The victim did, but when the car pulled up, the stranger insist- ed on a different car, police said. During the confusion, a second man approached. This man displayed the weapon, partly con- cealed by the sleeve, and asked for the victim’s cash. When the man told his attackers his pockets were empty, the thugs took a shine to his diamond earrings. The gunman snatched the bling-bling, then added, “If I go in your wallet and find any money, I’m going to shoot you.” But it proved to be an empty threat, because the thugs fled with the earrings along Bond Street. The victim examined nearly 1,000 mugshots, but could not find his attackers. Police are now searching for two black men, one 5- foot-5 and 170 pounds, dressed that day in a dark-green leather jacket, brown work boots and a black cap. The second man is 5- foot-8, 160 pounds, and wore a black leather jacket and a black hat.

A coalition of cultural groups this week unveiled its latest effort to draw tourists to Brooklyn’s museums and other at- tractions. DUMBO finds ‘Love’ The program takes the form of a “Brooklyn Pass,” a two- day “smart card” that offers free admission and discounts at 17 of the borough’s biggest draws. How good a bargain is the $25 card? It depends on how fast you can move.

But if you have the energy to visit all the attractions, you’ll save $45 in admission fees, without counting the free slice of cheesecake at Junior’s and ticket discounts at the Brooklyn Academy of Music and Bargemusic (for a full list PHOTO: LUCILLE FORNASIERI-GOLD, BEST PHOTOGRAPH, 2004 of participants, go to www.brooklynpass.com).
